Back in the game with a K2 CB750
« on: August 23, 2018, 07:26:12 PM »
I had 2 projects I had posted on here, but life got in the way. Had my 1st kid, and was laid off from work at the exact same time. Divorce, sold toys, blah blah blah. BUT, I'm back, and a new toy I'm picking up Saturday. I introduce Wanda Jr. Will be a restored, but with a 4-1 header, S12 big bore kit, and a Megacycle cam. :-)

Wellll, I'm keeping this seat. Got really lucky, was turned into a tourer when she was young, and it had a king n queen installed. Fortunately the PO had kept the original, its barely used!  :) Plans are to get it back to as stock as possible. If I can find some original pipes I'd like to do that as well, but the chances of finding another set....

Cant say I blame you! Good luck finding the OEM pipes it makes a huge difference! Id say get the HM300s - I have them on my K2 and they sound great. The 341s on my K4 are just too quiet :)

cheers
